This is a game inspired by 3Three3's haiku scavanger hunt. It's a game for people who want to play photo tag, but don't have a camera.
A riddle should take ingenuity to figure out. Ingenuity is something we all have :grin:
carefully.
Please be very specific about where the lock is located. If the riddle needs to be solved to figure out where the lock is, consider including some additional details. Example: "Once you're at the intersection that the riddle leads to, the lock will be on the orange fence next to the restaurant."
Please place the lock in a location where it won't get cut. Don't make your riddle so hard that it's going to take more than a few days to figure out :x
The longer the lock is in the same spot, the more likely it'll get cut by someone thinking it's abandoned.
Keep the lock in Minneapolis please.
After you have solved a puzzle and removed the lock, please let us know as soon as possible :D
It's not much fun looking for a lock that isn't there. :x
Tell us how you figured out the puzzle! But put the answer in "invisible text" so that it wont be spoiled for people who still want to solve the puzzle.
I will start by posting a puzzle/riddle/clue that will lead you to a location in Minneapolis. There, you can find a combination lock covered with MBL stickers and spiraled white tape. Once you find it, you can put it in another location and come up with a puzzle of your own. Kapeesh?
Rule #1) Be creative and have fun!
Rule #2) There are no other rules.
Suggestion #1) Everybody should be able to solve each puzzle/clue/riddle with -at the most- a pen/cil, some scratch paper and a map. This game isn't about who knows the highest level math. I think it should be about creativity. And FUN!
Suggestion #2) Ride your bike.
Suggestion #3) Keep the lock in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Suggestion #4) Once you've solved a puzzle and have the lock, say so as soon as you can. But don't feel pressured to come up with a new puzzle right away. Take your time, show off the lock to your friends (I know I have), eat, sleep and work if you have to. Hopefully, any hecklers will wait at least 8 hours.
Suggestion #5) Also, post the answer in "invisible text" with your new puzzle. That way, it won't be spoiled accidentaly for the people who want to figure it out.

at it long enough and crossed my eyes a little and a photo of the street sign it's locked to appeared.
